After Mu Tao died, everyone looked at Su Yu.
In addition to admiring Su Yu's high awareness, she was also shocked by his cultivation level.
Mu Tao was a martial grandmaster at the sixth level of the Martial Ancestor Realm. Even if it was a sneak attack, it would not be possible without a cultivation above the Martial Ancestor Realm!
However, Su Yu, a handsome eunuch, was actually a martial arts grandmaster!
All the guards were shocked!
Even Liyue was shocked when she saw Su Yu kill Mu Tao with a single strike.
She had fought with Mu Tao before, so only she knew exactly how strong he was.
To be able to fight evenly with her without showing any signs of defeat after dozens of moves, and then be killed by Su Yu with one sword strike…
Did this guy's cultivation level increase again?
Su Yu's abnormal behavior once again refreshed Liyue's understanding of him.
She had only given Su Yu two cultivation techniques this morning. Did he break through again after practicing for half a day?
Liyue couldn't help but look at Su Yu in a new light.
Although they hadn't fought yet, she couldn't sense Su Yu's cultivation level.
However, from the moment Su Yu attacked, she could clearly feel that he was stronger than he was this morning!
The Water Empress also glanced at Su Yu, but her eyes didn't show much emotion.
She was still at Xiantian ninth stage, and the gap between her and Su Yu was getting wider and wider.
Without close contact, she couldn't sense Su Yu's changes.
"Zhou Mu?"
The empress looked at the crowd and spoke indifferently.
"Your Majesty, I'm here!"
A middle-aged man dressed in the uniform of a deputy guard walked out and bowed respectfully to the Emperor.
His cultivation was around the third level of the Martial Ancestor Realm and could be considered a Master.
The empress glanced at him and was obviously satisfied with his attitude. She said calmly,"Mu Tao has already been executed. I hereby order you to replace the commander of the guards and be in charge of the palace guards!”
"I accept your decree!"
Zhou Mu kowtowed respectfully.
"If a situation like today happens again, where assassins surround my royal study, you and Mu Tao will be punished equally!”
the empress said again.
"I will definitely do my best and live up to Your Majesty's high hopes!”
Zhou Mu was obviously Su Yu's disciple, so he quickly expressed his loyalty.
Then, the empress looked at the group of guards that Mu Tao had brought and said coldly,"When the assassin entered the palace, you and Mu Tao neglected your duties. You should have been punished with Mu Tao, but on account of your ancestors 'loyalty to the royal family, I temporarily forgive you. If you commit this crime again, you will be punished for several crimes and will be executed without mercy!”
"Thank you for your grace, Emperor!"
The guards kowtowed again.
It was indeed as the Emperor had said. Most of their ancestors were guards and could be considered to be of noble birth. They had a natural honor to protect the imperial power.
It was just that the Emperor had always been young and had no power.
Mu Tao, as the commander of the guards, not only had a deep cultivation, but he was also the general's subordinate.
If they didn't listen to Mu Tao, they would be made trouble by him. Even the emperor wouldn't be able to protect them. Over time, the situation today had formed.
But today, the emperor suddenly became unyielding and got rid of Mu Tao.
They naturally had no reason to listen to Mu Tao.
The empress's expression softened slightly after he had given her a round of kindness and intimidation.
It had been three years since she ascended the throne at the age of fifteen.
However, she had always been restricted by the Empress Dowager, the Great General, and other auxiliary ministers. Even the inner court of the palace could not be completely controlled by her.
As a result, not only was there no news of the imperial consort who had tried to assassinate her the day before, but the rebels of the Red Lotus Group had also infiltrated the palace again!
But now, she was an adult.
He was not that little Emperor who could be manipulated by anyone!
And as the news of her sleeping with the Empress gradually spread, the suspicion of her being a woman was greatly reduced.
Zai Fu and the Great Pavilion Elder of the Internal Affairs Pavilion had always been two sly old foxes.
However, his attitude was clearly leaning toward her, the emperor.
Therefore.
That was why she chose to lay her cards on the table and kill Mu Tao, even if he was the general's man!
And this…
This was also to show her attitude!
She was already the true dragon and son of heaven of the Great Xia Dynasty. She was no longer the submissive little emperor of the past!
He waved his hand.
He ordered the guards to leave first.
Although there might be Mu Tao's trusted aides among these guards, it was obvious that they would not let the matter of settling accounts be made public.
Then, the empress looked at Su Yu.
Noticing the direction he came from, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes."You just came back from the Empress Dowager's palace?"
"Replying to the emperor, yes."
Su Yu nodded.
However, he cursed in his heart.
The beautiful emperor was indeed very unyielding just now, but he had just killed so many assassins and even stabbed Mu Tao, the commander of the guards, to death with a single sword. The beautiful emperor had no intention of rewarding him at all.
This was too much!
"Follow me to Yangxin Palace Hall."
The empress didn't care what Su Yu was thinking. She said this calmly and left the royal study, heading toward Yangxin Palace.
Li Yue, who was still dressed in blue, sheathed her sword and silently guarded the empress's side.
Seeing this, Su Yu had no choice but to follow.
